2x18 Truth Takes Time
Syd and Irina waste some ammo. Syd wants Irina to "freeze." Irina doesn't.
There's some wonky editing. Syd repays her mom for that whole "Hi, I'm
alive. Bang!" thing. There's a woman down. Syd cries. We're confused. But
wait! Now we get to go back in time and have everything explained. [Insert
Wayne's World "deedle-deedle-dee" noises and hand waves.] Vaughn
quips. CIA hall monitors take away his hall pass. Syd wants to Vaughn-talk
with Jack, but he's got an Irina-bomb to drop. Now Syd is back to not
liking her mom. But she gets some earrings out of it. On EvilSpy Airways,
Sloane and Irina engage in vaguely creepy small talk. Sark thinks the
adults are acting really weird. Irina sends Sark out to play, then decides
that the small talk is over. Heh, heh, Kendall said "intimate knowledge."
Look out, SpyDaddy's in charge now! Marshall asks an embarrassing question.
Syd takes out her mom issues on a poor, defenseless target. Vaughn
compliments her groping. I mean grouping. He doesn't say, "Told ya so!" Syd
tries to get pissy with him, but he calls her on it. Syd is unconcerned
about her boyfriend's eardrums. Kendall and Jack have a pissing contest,
but they find common ground in being annoyed with Marshall. Syd and Vaughn
tag-team a mile-high mission briefing and wish there was more privacy. The
CIA isn't very stealthy. Sark utilizes an unorthodox greeting for Irina's
company contact. Irina is buzz-worthy. She and Sark have a shocking moment.
Frankly, I'm not sure who was more shocked. Vaughn and Sark engage in
stairway fisticuffs. Sark goes on my permanent shit list by shooting
Vaughn. That'll do it every time. Luckily, Syd has no hesitation in
shooting the gun out of his hand before he gets off the kill shot. Then she
shows that maybe she actually loves Vaughn with her relief that he's OK and
a sweet forehead kiss. Awww. There's just no snark for that. Irina lures
Syd and Vaughn out of the building before it goes "boom." Cool points for
that. Marshall blathers about Will's jacket, then blathers about scary gene
stuff. Emily and "Laura" have an awkward reunion. Emily is confused and
cranky. During the Double Date of Inappropriate Gifts and Odd Looks,
Freplica shows that she hasn't quite gotten the knack of human interaction
yet. Not that Vaughn doesn't deserve gifts, but not from Freplica. Yes,
Syd, you should be chagrined for not giving him a gift yet! Vaughn
says "Thank you" to Freplica, which translates to, "Please don't ever give
me anything again." Emily decides that she'd rather see CIA offices in
Florence instead of boring old art. Syd is kind of tired of people coming
back from the dead. Jack gives Vaughn a son-in-law pat on the arm. Sloane
says he wants out of the Rambaldi-obsession biz. Irina is skeptical. Emily
worries that Sloane will know she's wired. Well, he might if you keep
talking loudly to yourself! Sloane pledges his devotion. Emily folds
like a house of most-wanted cards and reveals her wire. SwatTeam!Vaughn
leads the team in. The Sloanes flee. Aaaaand we're back at the start, with
more wonky editing. Dixon makes a major boo-boo. OK, Dix, it sucks you
missed Sloane on the first shot, but take another one while he's
standing there! Later, Syd and Vaughn do some SpySpooning. Syd doesn't
want to talk, but cuddling is A-OK. Irina ruins another shippy moment with
her cryptic Earring-o-gram.
